O positive here, heard that's a good type to have.
O negative myself..same.aggie2812-2 said:

From my post on previous thread:
Been reading about this. Along with viral inoculation amounts, I suspect it is the main source of variability of attack rates among affected individuals. Basically - type O is protective. Type A is susceptible. Type O blood is seen in 59-85% of Mexico and lower equatorial countries which have much lower cases of COVID-19.
Very complicated Sars Cov-2 apparently can't bind well to type O RBC surface proteins and when it tries it creates a highly antigenic protein bond structure that is easily cleared by native immunity.
Type A pts, on the other hand, apparently have different cell membrane serine protease activity, which interacts with serine residues on the viruses S spike protein. This is also governed by ACE-2 receptors, which have differing phenotypes in ABO variability. The cell glycan/S spike binding structure is affected by differing serine protease activity making it more easily penetrated. This all translates to easier sars cov2 human cell entry into type A individuals.
My read of complex topic.

I'm O negative but my wife is A negative. At least her being female helps.
Very interesting!
I have no idea what blood type I am

Have you ever donated blood? The blood center I donated at had my info in my online portal.
AB+

Me neither. You could tell me today, and I wouldn't remember.
i think there are some "at home" kits you can buy online if you were really interested. Or better yet your primary care doctor's office should be able to do it if they will see you in person at this time.
I remember doing it in a lab for a class at A&M...did not pay attention to the results whatsoever....

I'm O+ and this is the best news I've heard all day.
